COULD SOMEONE TELL ME if it's the agent I have with Child Support Recovery or the local office itself that doesn't push the enforcements it is given?

CONGRATULATIONS, AUGUSTA, on a fantastic Thunder Over Augusta. The exhibits, concert and fireworks were a great tribute to our military heroes. Let this be an annual event.

A GIANT RAVE FOR George Patty, who is the "man behind the curtain." George, who is head of Richmond County planning and zoning and has real history with Augusta problems. Take 10 percent from each commissioner and give it to George as a raise and let him make the decisions. George has good sense.

TROLLEY BUSES? I feel they should run them again. There "were" pockets of times when the buses had a number of passengers, so it was a shame to shut down those buses. And with the change to downtown with new shops and restaurants and the upcoming opening of the former JB White Building, I think it should be run to encourage more touring of downtown.

A RAVE FOR Jeff Kervin Stump & Tree Co. They gave me the best service.

A RANT FOR ALL THE people who get mad when you are asked for ID when using your credit card. You should be glad that we are asking for ID. If you don't want to show your ID, then don't use your card. We do this to protect our business and you also.

A RANT TO PARENTS who allow their children to run around, scream and climb on railings in a restaurant. There are some of us who would enjoy a relaxing meal without the interruption of your out-of-control brats!

I'VE BEEN LEGALLY carrying a pistol every day for about two years. During that time, I have been hassled by panhandlers; bumped, jostled, poked and pushed while standing in lines; been treated rudely by waters, waitresses, cashiers and clerks; and I have not shot anyone. I've accidentally dropped and kicked my gun several times, and moved it from my pocket to my waistband and from my waistband to the console of my car countless times. It has never accidentally discharged. You are safer because I carry my pistol.

I think that the takeoff of the geese is the funniest. One starts honking, then others start and they honk and honk and the leader lifts off and the rest follow, honking all the way. But the landing is pretty cool with the walking on water, etc.

sunny, I would need more information. In what way have the agents not lived up? Have they not done the things they promised to do or has the house just not been shown? I'm in sort of the same situation with a recent list-er. In my case, I did the homework and showed the client the square footage prices of what had sold in the neighborhood in the last 6 months. The seller came off what he had anticipated listing the property for but not enough, then reduced the price after several weeks, but still not enough. If the house is listed in the MLS and still goes without showings for a long period of time, the market is saying it's listed too high--for this market.

I just rode downtown last saturday. It's really on the upswing with alot of new construction going on. The whites building looks like its almost done off broad. There are new homes off laney walker and 9th street where the judicial center will be going up. The james brown townhomes off 9th street are going up now as week speak. I saw the crane working on the project downtown. With the tee center, library, watermark condos, kroc center, hotel/condo project on the augusta common, and other developments. I think augusta downtown will boom like it did before. I keep hearing alot of atlanta developers are trying to buy up augusta. Before out of state developers come. The developer who is behind the whites building is from atlanta.

sunnysmiles--name the agent. Do not be afraid. That's what the forum is for. I'll say it for KSL, because she is too modest. KSL works for the largest and best company in the CSRA and she is top flight. If the agent is not doing his/her job, your kids can fire the heck out of them, work with the mortgage lien holder to maybe make interest only payments until the preoperty is sole (interest is all they care about anyway) and turn the property over quickly. This is prime selling season and if the agent listing the house isn't doing it, bing bang boom...get KSL, she will. I'm gone. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Unless your swolf, then I'd never leave home.

sunnysmiles11, I am so sorry to hear that. That is the thing that gives us as Realtors a very bad wrap. I can honestly say I have not known any Realtor who would do that. Are they buying and selling locally? I can speak for Aiken only. I would suggest they take any complaints they have with their agent to the broker. If they get no satisfaction there, to the real estate commission.

All I said was that sunny's kids had the right to fire their agent and that I recommend they hire you ksl. I'm getting sick of the moderators on here removing every other thing I say. So, to the moderators on here, stick it up your ^%&#@%#!!!!

Actually he needs to make you a member of the order of the snakes. That means you get to own one. I will see if I can find a pic and email it to you. We are having computer interface problems. It's driving me crazy.
